218 ETHNOGEOGEAPHY OF THE TEWA INDIANS [eth. ann. 29 



Mr. Tomasino Martinez lives about where the more southerlj' 

 of the two circles suggesting this name is placed. 

 [11:37] San Juan Kuqivdnug.e'iijlo 'drag-stone-down arroyo' (ku 

 'stone'; t/wa 'to drag'; nwge'down' 'from a higher place to a 

 lower place across a surface' <nuhi 'below', g.e 'down at' 'over 

 at' 'down to' 'over to'; ^iijf locative and adjective-forming post- 

 fix; kq 'barranca' 'arroyo with banks'). 



Who dragged a stone down, and under what circumstances, is 

 probably forever forgotten. It is not impossible that the arroyo 

 itself did the dragging of a stone or stones referred to by this 

 name. 



This arroyo is quite deep where it cuts through the edge of the 



highland. It starts at Tsig.u'akonnu [11:34:] and loses itself in 



the lowlands of mig.e [11:36]. See [11:38]. 

 [11:38] San Juan P' ewawindiwe 'where the cross stands' (p'&ira 



'cross' <pe 'stick', %oa unexplained; n^iyf 'to stand'; ''iwe 



locative). 

 On the high corner just north of [11:37] when> the latter 



leaves the highland stands a wooden cross, said to have been 



erected b}^ iVIexicans in connection with a funeral procession. 

 [11:39] San Juan AVa^o ' badger water' (IVa 'badger'; p> 'water"). 



This is a low place near the bank of the Rio Grande. 

 [11:40] San Juan Pijjqe 'in the middle', referring in some wav to the 



middle or central portion of the lowlands. 

 [11:41] San Juan fugohe^e 'little corner of the mosquitoes' (/wffo 



'mosquito' ; he'e 'small low roundish place'). 

 [11:42] San Juan PuwahiCu 'cultivated land corner' {puica 'cultivated 



land' ' land under state of cultivation ' ; hu^io ' large low roundish 



place'). 



It is at this place that the clay-pit [11:43] is situated. 

 [11:43] San Juan Pb'iriapok'qnillwe ' where the clay is dug', referring 



to a peculiar kind of clay {jniiutpo 'moist clay' 'clay that is 



moist when it is dug out' <pPi 'reddish pottery-clay', napoas in 



napota 'adobe'; Icqyf 'to dig'; ''iwe locative). 



This is the source of the clay used in making the common red 



pottery of San Juan. See Nqpi'\^ under iNIinerals. The cla\'- 



pits are at the place called Puwabu^u [11:42]. 

 [11:44] San Juan Ts/g_ubu''u 'chico corner' {ts/gji name of an uniden- 

 tified bush which is called chico l)y the Mexicans of the Tewa 



country; 6m'm 'large low roundish place'). See [11:34]. 

 [11:45] San Juan Pidepjlo, see [12:2Uj. 

 [11:40] San Juan Pitfe'iukqi>vog.e 'delta of jackrab])it hole arroyo' 



[11:45] {Pute'iykq, see [12:20]; <jwog.f 'delta' < ^iro 'to cut 



through', g.e 'down at' ' over at').
